transfer of the present government
building ami lot and also a large lot
owned by the government on tne wwt
side of Ford street, to the fity of Au
gusta In exchange for the lot original
ly Intended for the city hall. The real j

EDIT OllS FROM PEOPLE
Richmond High School, Augusta,
Ga., the Oldest in United State*.
To the Editor of The llernld, Sir:
I sow In your paper in few day* ngo
that the Richmond High school estab
lished In 1783, was the oldest In the
.‘■title. Why not claim for It what it
deserve*, for It is the oldest bin'll
school In the United States?
Massachusetts claims that she had
high schools In 1797, and when the
Philadelphia high school was estab
lished In 1837. It claimed that "there
wit* no Institution of the kind in the
t tilled Stiles outside of Massachusetts.
The first public schools were In Vlr
al’Mo before they were In Massachu

In the North will give this We must
look to our own historians, who are
Just waking tip to reallxe our great
ness," for statistics about the South.
The first Manual l.abor schools in
the United States was established In
connection with Franklin College,
Athens, On, In ISIS. The school
house stood where Mr, E. R, Hodg
son's residence 1 now stands.
Dr. Hull In Ids Annals of Athens
describes It.
It 1* a singular coincidence that
Georgia bus so often been twitted for
It* Illiteracy when It can claim:

VOTE OVERWHELMINGLY
FOR (ML FORTIFICATION
Washington—After nearly five hours
of debate the house of representatives
shortly before 10 o'clock Saturday
night voted overwhelmingly In favor
of the policy of fortifying the Panama
canal am) apporprtated J 5,000.000 to
begin the work, the total cost of which
has been estimated at JU.000.000. The
notion of the house practically settles
the question of fortification, for the
sentiment In the senate Is said to he
more than two to one in favor of pro
tecting the Inland waterway by sea
ooast batteries.
Representative Tawney, of Mtnneso
■ ta, chairman of the committee on ap
l, proprlatlons, haa been opposed to for
tifying the canal from the first and
offered an amendment which provld
ed that no part of the money set aside
for fortification should be used until
the President of the Pnlted States had
attempted to negotiate treaties with
all of the lending maritime nation*
guaranteeing the neutrality and inter
national protection of the canal. The
amendment was voted down, IJO to

Mr. John W. Dow, Principal
of Summerville Academy,
Wishes to Erect Modern
School House in the Village.
A new Summerville school house Is be
ing planned for Summerville. Mr. John
W. Dow, the present principal, is bring
ing the plan to a crisis, and with the as
sistance of the present pupils, the alumni
and the trustees and plan will go
through before the centennial of the
school in 1913.
A 823,000 building, fireproof, of brick,
modernly equipped, with large airy light
school rooms, gymnasium laboratories,
etc., Is what is In the mind of the prin
cipal, The present building is Inadequate
In every way. it Is too small; It la in
convenient; it is not sanitary, and It is
a cheap building. With the ‘aggregate
wealth of Summerville, the village is rep
resented by a $7,000 frame building.

$40,000. Tacoma, Washington, from
which place Mr. Dow came before taking
charge of the Summerville academy, a
town of 85,000 people, ha* erected a
school building which costs $500,000, and
has built a play ground for the pupils
at a cost of $34,000. There Is assessable
property returned, at $2,500,000, In Sum
merville and that amount should possess
sufficient funds to erect school building
that is beautifying, to the village as well
as a building that 1* so equipped as to
afford the very best for the education
of the children of the village.
Chartered In 1815
Summerville academy received Its
charter in 1815, and began Its first ses
sion In December of that year. The
school house was almost where the store
of Carrigan & Mahoney stands, on Cum.
mlng street and John's Road. Later the
present site, Kathrine and William
streets was secured and in a small build
ing school was continued. The two room
house which stands In the extreme right
of the yard was next used, and when
the present building was built, the
small house was used as a city hall.
The present school Is some 30 or 40 years
old.

jof places and unthought of in its pres
ent sense. Summerville, in the mean
time, has grown from a Summer-resi
dence place, to a village of several thou
sands inhabitants, but the same build
ing, which was erected to cope with the
conditions of a half century ago, is still
used to train the minds and bodies of
boys and girls who will grow up to rep.
resent their city in many senses, pos
sibly in many parts of the globe, but
under entirely different circumstances.
Mr. Dow’s Plan
Mr. Dow's plan is perfectly simple, and
will doubtless be responded to by pupils
of the past and of the present. He has
been working for sometime, compiling
a list of the pupils of the academy for
years back. His records go no further
than 1884. Since that time he has got
1.049 names. He will ask, at a near
date in the future, that those who have
attended the Academy before 1884, com.
municate with him and in that way the
lstt will be as complete as practicable.
Miss Sarah G. Stokes, who assists Mr.
pow at the Summerville academy, lias
put him In possession of more than 100
names of pupils before 1884. If others
will do one-hundreth as much, he feels
that the list, upon which he will reply,
will be complete. Pupils of the school
are now living in every state of the un
ion, and some of them are abroad.
In possession of this list Mr. Dow will
make a canvass. It Is a tremendous
work, but he feels it 4s worth it. He feels
that the boys and girls under him de

serve better training physically and me£.
tally than they can receive in the pres
ent building. Mr. Dow is simply expres
sing, in a forceful way. what educators
in the United States have been working
for for some time, and which they are
now demahding as the children's right,
that education must be carried on on
modern lines; that education must be
combined with proper physical conditions
which will include sanitation, ventila.
tion and recreation.
Mr. Dow comes of an aggressive New
England family. With the spirit of New
England in his blood he has begun the
work, still a little unformed, but every
one believes that*he will carry the w«>rj£
through to perfection and will be able
to present to the trustees the handsome
new high school building at the centen
nial celebration in 1915.
STILL IN DOUBT ABOUT
CAUSES OF PELLAGRA
Washington, D. C.—Scientists of tha
public health and marine hospital
service after an extended review of tha
latest investigations of pellagra and
its possible relation to corn are in aa
much doubt as ever as to the real
causes of the disease.
The general conclusion is that pel
lagra and pellagroid affections may ba
due not only to the use of corn as
food but also to the use of other grains
and plant stuffs of various localities.
